The Revelwood Box O' Links
You can't get around as much as us without
running into a few groups that are as well adjusted and good for the spirit
as Revelwood. Therefore, it is an obligation, no, an honor, to offer them
for your review and enjoyment. Here then is a listing of those sites that
we feel are going to do you some good. Just be careful how you use them.
LE MUSÉE KHNOPFF
(New
5/99)
http://www.panix.com/~khnopff/Index.html
Velveeta's first Web page! Dedicated
to the works of Belgian Symbolist painter Fernand Khnopff (1858 - 1921).
As Vel sez: "Hooray for obscure artists!"
AND SPEAKING OF OBSCURE
ARTISTS (New 5/99)
http://www.mindworkshop.com/alchemy/indcnt.html
A gallery of pre-Raphaelite paintings
that Brother Rodney stumbled upon. What he can't understand is why
one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is so important to the world of
art that there's a whole genre named after him!
MODERN DRUNKARD MAGAZINE
(New 5/99)
http://isis.netherworld.com/~moddrunk/index.html
Here's a publication that's sure to occupy
a place close to the hearts (and/or livers) of many a Revelwood citizen.
CAREFUL, YOU'LL PUT
YOUR EYE OUT
http://www.io.com/~therion1/resources.html
Velveeta sent us this link that provides
access to more sites with things that can kill you than a Q clambake. This
is a weapon collector's Nirvana. I always knew that woman was dangerous.
JESUS, YOU'VE GOTTA
BE KIDDING!
http://www.jesusdance.com
Another little gem brought to our attention
by Velveeta. Inspired by www.hamsterdance.com,
apparently. Visit the rest of this guy's site for one of the funniest "revisionist
history" photos you'll ever want to see! (Hint: you may have to "reload"
his page a couple of times before you get to the picture of The Oswald
Band.)
LIVING IN THE PAST
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~camelot/reenact.html
Here is another series of links for those
who can't get enough of a time when there wasn't enough. This link provides
access to seventeen sites that will tickle and inflame your most fervent
medieval fantasies. Nell and Jen, also known as Tickle and Inflame, provided
the link. Huzzah.
THE CHALKMAN
http://www.chalkman.com
For those of you who attend the Society
for Creative Anachronism's gathering known as the Pennsic War, The Chalkman
is already a legend. For those of you who haven't been fortunate enough
to visit The Chalkman, your life is not yet complete. Imagine a tavern
filled to capacity with genius level musicians, known-world renowned storytellers,
and a gathering of clever full-of-life people, watered liberally with one
of the best home brewed beers ("The Burly Brew") to be made by bipeds,
and you will visualize The Chalkman. The best part is that there are NO
DUMBECKS ALLOWED. The Burly Ten Pint Men welcome you to visit
their site and learn more about this truly remarkable and
wondrous place known as The Chalkman.
SOCIETY FOR CREATIVE
ANACHRONISM
http://www.sca.org/
This is the web site for The Society
for Creative Anachronism. Close your eyes and imagine this. Tens of thousands
people, all dressed in varying aspects of medieval costume, each trying
to out do each other with chivalry and style, each reliving a time of mystery,
passion and fantasy. And some of them hitting each other on the head with
sticks. As far as hobbies go, it beats the Hell out of bowling.
HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE
TO THE GALAXY
http://www.en.com/users/xvr27/otherguide2.html
or
http://rhf.bradley.edu/~beblbrox/hhg/links.html
If there is one influence on the Artisan's
Colony of Revelwood that can be traced to a single source, it is The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. This five-book
trilogy will tell you everything you need to know about human (and alien)
behavior, the best places to drink in the galaxy and what to do in case
you are subjected to Vogon poetry. It will even give you the answer to
life, the universe and everything. What you do with it is up to you. Please,
before you spend another day on this mostly-harmless planet, go to your
local library and start to read these books. The knowledge and wisdom they
will impart to you will make the world a better place for all of us.
SOUND BYTES &
TELEVISION SHOW THEMES
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/multimedia/sun-sounds/series/
This site contains audio files of 60's,
70's & 80's television show themes like The Twilight Zone, The James
Bond Theme, The Outer Limits, F-Troop, The Prisoner, The Time Tunnel, sound
bytes like Marvin The Paranoid Robot saying "I'm Not Getting You Depressed
Am I?"; Curly's "Yuk Yuk Yuk"; Lurch's "You Rang?" You get the idea. They
work great on your desktop as instant background music. Imagine, your significant
other, or boss, or assistant, or roommate has just walked into the room
and said something completely off-the-wall. Wouldn't it be great if you
could simply click on the icon have the Twilight Zone theme suddenly fill
the air. Forget the proverbial picture, a good TV show theme is worth ten
thousand words. (Click on the "Parent Directory" link for a slew of other
sound clips.)
